Our basic SMS service uses a rotating pool of numbers so it's not possible to determine in advance what number will appear on an SMS sent from CE's integrated SMS gateway.
Some patients are wary that an SMS from an unknown number requesting payment may be a scam. If you prefer, we can assign a specific number from our service provider for all outgoing SMS messages so you can advise patients that any message you send with a payment link from that number is legitimate.
Price:
Dedicated number exclusively for your site - $180 annually.
This amount will be added to your subscription.
The dedicated number works exactly the same as our regular service. SMS messages are sent from the software and replies come back to the associated invoice. The same costs per outgoing SMS apply.
Contact
support@cesoft.com.au if you would like to set up this service. We will then issue you with a number linked to our service.
Note that dedicated numbers can't be used for phone calls, they only work for SMS messages sent from CE and replies to those messages.
Also note that the integrated SMS service can only use numbers allocated by our gateway. For this reason it's not technically possible to use your own mobile number to send or receive SMS messages from CE.
